Sony’s M2 Aqua Offers Waterproof Design on a Budget

Sony has been paying a lot of attention to the budget category and its new addition is the Xperia M2 Aqua, a sub-standard phone with water-proofing as standard in a price bracket where it is unheard of.

The screen is a large, 4.8″ panel with qHD resolution. This results in an unflattering 230 ppi, which will be just usable. Above the display is a 1.1 megapixel camera for your self-snaps, while the body itself is IP68-certified, a step above the usual IP58 certification, meaning that Xperia M2 Aqua is dustproof and can remain underwater for even longer periods.

Under the hood, you’ll get a 1.2Ghz Cortex-A7 CPU with Snapdragon 400 chipset and Adreno 305 GPU, standard specs in the market where it belongs. Accompanying it on Xperia M2 Aqua is 1 GB worth RAM and 8 GB internal storage, which is expandable.

At the back is an 8 megapixel shooter with an LED Flash and Exmor RS sensor. The camera is also capable of shooting 1080p video at 30fps with HDR, a handsome offering for a mid-range phone, apart from offering some software tricks to smoothen up your photos even more.

For connectivity, you get NFC, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 LE. There’s a 2,300 mAh battery to power the phone, which will be available in two colours: White and Black.

Pricing details remain unknown, though, the phone itself will hit the markets this fall season. We’ll be really surprised if it is priced anywhere near the Moto G and the Nokia Lumia 630.

“Sub-standard” has a negative connotation to it. It means bad. Sony paid you guys to mock their phone?

Title says ‘on a budget,’ and later in post it is mentioned the phone is ‘in a price bracket where it is unheard of.’ And post ends with ‘Pricing details remain unknown.’ So you are saying its a budget, cheap phone at low unheard pricing but you don’t know the price?!

specs are great, even better than moto G. If sony can come up with the price of around 22-24k this could well be the Moto G killer.
